There is nothing sweeter than an away win in Dublin.
I was in the Pale last Sunday supporting Avondale United in the semi final of the FAI Intermediate Cup away to Crumlin United. Crumlin had beaten Avondale in last years final and were going for three in a row this year but the Dale progressed by two goals to one.

During the game I got chatting to an old man on the sideline and from talking to him you could sense his passion for the game.
It was only later when he asked about Cork City that I realised I was talking to the great Theo Dunne, father of our manager Tommy.

Zorba The Greek is a novel written by Nikos Kazantzakis in 1946.
It tells the tale of a young Greek intellectual who puts aside his copy of A Divine Comedy by Dante and sets off to re-open a lignite mine in Crete with the help of the boisterous and mysterious Alexis Zorba.
Bouboulina is a pet name given by Zorba to Madame Hortense the hotel owner.
